Might have back problems. Theoretically they should show under saddle too, but well. Bareback can mess up horse's back.
It can't if you're sitting in the right place
Yes it can |

Woohoo! Go Sage xD First time I fell off I was 5 and my pony bucked, I fell off, then he rolled on top of me. Damn ponies. I think I fall about once a month. Just having fun with friends being an idiot lol |

I dont suggest riding without a bareback pad. For it can hurt the horse with your movement |

I guess I'm not a rider then. Been riding for 16 years, I've only fallen off three times. Well, two actually, the third, I fainted cuz I had strep throat and heat exhaustion. I've been told this all my life; "I don't know how the hell you say on that damn horse. It looks like you are about to fall and die." I've had the green ones, the spooky ones, the bucky and kicky ones. I have great skill staying on. I'll be watching people ride and in my head I'll be like wow billy sucks or like ok, that person is really good; If you can ride, I'll most likely cal, you a real rider. It's not about how many times you fall off, but the skill you have when you are with or on the horse. I don't know where this "it's how many times you fall off makes you a rider" shit comes from, I think it's just to say "it's ok the fall of as long as you learn from your mistakes" which I do think that's very true. I have a friend who has fallen off thirteen times, and I'm a better rider than them. Both of us agree on it. I haven't fallen off in six or so years and I'm learning a ton. You don't need to fall off the horse to learn. A rail down, a refusal, simply not placing well, the ride not feeling smooth, and everything like that you can learn a lot from. I'll say this again; it's not how many times you fall off, it's learning from your mistakes that makes you a real rider.

Not always, if you aren't to heavy for the horse, they won't and can't have their back injured. (I mean, if they fall onto their back, that's a very, very different story.) The rider with or without a saddle, should never, ever weigh more than 20% of the horse's weight. @Maryland Farm; I have a pony with a swayback, my little sister rides him all the time bareback and with a saddle, he bucks more with a saddle(I even bought a special saddle pad meant for swaybacked horses) He came to my stable with a swayed back, it hasn't gotten any worse, he's happier now actually.

Let's just leave it at if you fall off 20 times but don't learn from them, you ain't a real rider. But if you fall off three but never make those mistakes again, now you're a real rider. Hell, I'd fallen off 13+ times by the time I reached my 5th year of riding anniversary (thanks, Rosie, for bucking me off a lot, but I did kinda totally suck back then), but I learned enough from each fall not to do those stupid things again. Number of falls this week: 4, thank my big boi for deciding that picnic tables are from hell. I still learned from each fall. Tried a different approach each time. Finally got him over it after 15+ tries XD. No, I'm not a bad rider. He's a green. Oh, and that friend Rhett was talking about? Me. Rhett's honestly better. Real riding is learning. You fall off by taking risks or if your horse is being an ass. You can't learn without taking risks and trying new things. What really damn matters is that when you fall off, you don't do it again and get back on your damn horse. Thank you. |
